Bob Stockton, my father-in-law, observed his 80th birthday in November 2019. Bob loved sports and was an enthusiastic Yankees (an American professional baseball team based in the New York City) fan, so it was no wonder that over the years, he was an avid (热切的) listener to WEAN radio and, in particular, the afternoon show hosted by Mike Francesa.
Bob had health issues in his later years that limited his mobility, and when he lost his eyesight three years ago, his attachment to his radio and Francesa became more pronounced. He just loved listening to Mike talk about sports and his Yankees each afternoon. Those hours brought him so much pleasure.
Of course, Mike will be leaving on Dec. 15, 2020 after 30 years at the station. Mike lives in the same community where I work on Long Island, and I have gotten to know him over the past 20 years. So when my father-in-law was approaching his special birthday last year, I asked Mike for a favor: to call Bob and wish him a happy birthday.
Mike agreed without hesitation. Two days before the special day, Mike stopped at my workplace. I called Bob at his nursing home and put Mike on the phone. It was a complete surprise to Bob. Mike spent more than 10 minutes wishing Bob a happy birthday and, of course, talking about the Yankees.
When my family celebrated Bob’s birthday two days later, he couldn’t stop talking about the phone call. Over his lifetime, he said it was one of the nicest things anyone had ever done for him. Unfortunately, Bob’s health declined (衰退) and he passed away on July 13, 2020. But even in his final months in the hospital and nursing home, he always had a radio set to WEAN to listen each afternoon to Mike Francesa. And he also had the memory of that special phone call for his 80th birthday.
24. What habit did Bob keep for years?
A. Playing baseball. B. Checking his eyesight regularly.
C. Listening to a sports program. D. Leading organized cheering for the Yankees.
25. What does the underlined word “pronounced” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Ordinary. B. Important. C. Confused. D. Obvious.
26. Which of the following best describes the author?
A. Caring. B. Independent. C. Patient. D. Honest.
27. What’s the best title for the text?
A. The Call Finally Arrived B. An Unforgettable Birthday Party
C. A Special Gift D. The Big Dream Came True
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. C
【解析】

【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Bob Stockton, my father-in-law, observed his 80th birthday in November 2019. Bob loved sports and was an enthusiastic Yankees (an American professional baseball team based in the New York City) fan, so it was no wonder that over the years, he was an avid (热切的) listener to WEAN radio and, in particular, the afternoon show hosted by Mike Francesa.(我的岳父鲍勃·斯托克顿在2019年11月庆祝了他的80岁生日。鲍勃热爱体育运动,是洋基队(总部设在纽约的美国职业棒球队)的狂热粉丝,所以多年来,他是电台的忠实听众,尤其是迈克·弗兰切萨主持的下午节目也就不足为奇了)”可知,Bert多年的习惯是听体育节目。故选C。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“Bob had health issues in his later years that limited his mobility, and when he lost his eyesight three years ago(Bob晚年的健康问题限制了他的行动,三年前他失去了视力)”和下文“He just loved listening to Mike talk about sports and his Yankees each afternoon. Those hours brought him so much pleasure.(他只是喜欢听迈克每天下午谈论体育和他的洋基队。那几个小时给他带来了那么多快乐)”可知,Bob三年前失去了视力,所以他对收音机和弗朗西萨的依恋变得更加明显。故划线词意思是“明显的”。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“So when my father-in-law was approaching his special birthday last year, I asked Mike for a favor: to call Bob and wish him a happy birthday.(因此,当我岳父去年即将迎来他特殊的生日时,我请迈克帮个忙:给鲍勃打个电话,祝他生日快乐)”可推知,作者是一个有爱心的人。故选A。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“So when my father-in-law was approaching his special birthday last year, I asked Mike for a favor: to call Bob and wish him a happy birthday.(因此,当我岳父去年即将迎来他特殊的生日时,我请迈克帮个忙:给鲍勃打个电话,祝他生日快乐)”结合文章讲述了作者的岳父Bob Stockton于2016年11月庆祝了他的90岁的生日,Bob多年来一直养成了听一个Mike主持的体育节目的习惯,在他生日时,作者求助Mike打电话给Bob并祝他生日快乐。故C选项“一个特殊的礼物”最符合文章标题。故选C。
C
Math anxiety has become a common psychological condition among students around the world. Students in countries with higher levels of math anxiety tend to achieve lower math grades, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on Feb 15.
Math anxiety — a negative emotional reaction to the core subject — causes fear, physical suffering and behavior problems among young pupils, according to a University of Cambridge study. In ordinary life, many people experience some degree of discomfort when confronted with a math problem, ranging from mild tension to strong fear.
Some people also experience physical symptoms such as sweaty palms or a racing heart. They may then try to avoid numbers-related situations, meaning they are held back from pursuing careers related to the subject, such as science, technology or engineering, according to The Guardian.
Relief comes from the fact that those with math anxiety aren’t destined to be bad at math. “If a child has math anxiety, don’t assume that they’re not good at math. They may have had a really bad experience with math,” Daniel Ansari, the senior author of the study told The London Free Press. “Students with math anxiety are not cognitively (认知地) disadvantaged. ”
Also, there are ways to manage your math-related stress. If you’re stressed before a math exam, spend a few minutes exploring those feelings before the exam begins. “It’s about making sure you’re interpreting your feelings correctly,” Sian Beilock, a cognitive scientist told the BBC. “A fast heartbeat and sweaty palms don’t necessarily mean you will fail.”
A little math anxiety could be taken as a positive challenge to overcome. Just like many people get stage fright before delivering a speech, this nervous energy can help to motivate, according to Ian Lyons, a psychologist at Georgetown University.
Math doesn’t come easy, no matter how clever you are. Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian artist, was a huge fan of mathematics. But his notebooks show that Da Vinci couldn’t do fractions (分数). He could never grasp, for instance, that dividing a number by one-quarter is the same as multiplying by four, resulting in a higher number than the original.
28. What do we know about math anxiety?
A. It is common merely among students.
B. It can cause physical and emotional discomfort.
C. People with math anxiety are often bad at maths.
D. It leads to people struggling in their career.
29. Which of the following statements will Daniel Ansari agree with according to his study?
A. Math anxiety may contribute to better grades.
B. Bad experience with math can cause cognitive disadvantages.
C. Math anxiety is not related to the ability to solve math problems.
D. Students with math anxiety may indeed experience lower math scores.
30. How should you deal with the stress related to math according to the article?
A. Avoid thinking about failures in math. B. Learn to make sense of your feelings.
C. Take all nervous energy as a challenge. D. Pay little attention to your math anxiety.
31. Why is Leonardo da Vinci’s story mentioned?
A. To show that math anxiety is very common.
B. To suggest a way to solve math anxiety.
C. To show it’s not easy for da Vinci to learn math.
D. To explain why math is a difficult subject to learn.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章介绍了数学焦虑症以及缓解的方法。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中“Math anxiety — a negative emotional reaction to the core subject — causes fear, physical suffering and behavior problems among young pupils, according to a University of Cambridge study. (剑桥大学的一项研究表明,数学焦虑症是对核心科目的负面情绪反应,会导致年轻学生的恐惧、身体痛苦和行为问题)”和第三段中“Some people also experience physical symptoms such as sweaty palms or a racing heart. (有些人还会出现手心出汗或心跳加速等身体症状)”可知,数学焦虑症会在精神和身体上引起不愉快的症状。故选B项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段中““If a child has math anxiety, don’t assume that they’re not good at math. They may have had a really bad experience with math,” Daniel Ansari, the senior author of the study told The London Free Press. (“如果一个孩子有数学焦虑症,不要认为他们不擅长数学。他们可能有过非常糟糕的数学经历,但有很多方法可以提高数学成绩,”该研究的资深作者Daniel Ansari在接受伦敦自由出版社采访时表示)”可知,Daniel Ansari的研究表明,不要认为有数学焦虑症的孩子不擅长数学,他们可能有过非常糟糕的数学经历,故Daniel Ansari会赞同数学焦虑症并不反映解决数学问题的能力。故选C项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。由第五段中“If you’re stressed before a math exam, spend a few minutes exploring those feelings before the exam begins. “It’s about making sure you’re interpreting your feelings correctly,” Sian Beilock, a cognitive scientist told the BBC. (如果你在数学考试前感到有压力,在考试开始前花几分钟探索一下这些感觉可能会有所帮助。认知科学家Sian Beilock在接受BBC采访时表示:“这是为了确保你正确解读自己的感受。”)”可知,如果你有关于数学的压力,你应该学会理解自己的感受。故选B项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段首句“Math doesn’t come easy, no matter how clever you are. (不管你有多聪明,数学都不容易学)”提到,不管你有多聪明,数学学起来都不容易,接着下文“Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian artist, was a huge fan of mathematics. But his notebooks show that Da Vinci couldn’t do fractions (分数). He could never grasp, for instance, that dividing a number by one-quarter is the same as multiplying by four, resulting in a higher number than the original. (Leonardo da Vinci,著名的意大利艺术家,是数学的狂热爱好者。但是他的笔记显示达芬奇不会做分数。例如,他永远无法理解,将一个数字除以四分之一等于乘以四,从而得到一个比原来更高的数字)”举了名人达·芬奇的例子,达·芬奇是数学的狂热爱好者,但他不会做分数,也没法明白做分数的原理,以此来支撑上述观点,说明对任何人来讲学习数学不容易,数学焦虑症很常见。故选A项。
D
We all have a tendency to fake laugh, particularly when authority figures in our lives try to make a joke that just doesn’t land. Though it might feel rude not to laugh when your in-laws or boss try to say something funny, pretending to do so might not be much better. It turns out, even if you think that your forced laughing sounds genuine, people are usually pretty good at separating truly spirited belly laughs from fake ones. But how can they possible know the difference?
Well, when researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles studied the acoustic and perceptual differences between real and fake laughter, they found that some of the sounds associated with genuine laughter is “really hard to fake.” In their study, the researchers determined that subjects were only fooled by 37 percent of fake laughter.
The most prominent factor distinguishing real laughter from fake laughter is duration -- or, more specifically, the number of breaths taken in in between sounds. Seeing as it takes more effort and concentration to fake a laugh as opposed to do it genuinely, people tend to pause more in between their “ha-ha’s” when they’re faking it. Evidently, that pausing is pretty noticeable.
“A fake laugh is basically an imitation of a real laugh, but produced with a slightly different set of vocal muscles controlled by a different part of our brain,” Greg Bryant, the lead UCLA researcher on the study, explained. “The result is that there are subtle features of the laugh that sound like speech, and ... people are unconsciously quite sensitive to them.”
People have also proven to be emotionally sensitive to laughter as well. “Our rains are very sensitive to the social and emotional significance of laughter,” said Carolyn McGettigan, a scientist at Royal Holloway, University of London.
McGettigan conducted a 2014 study that recorded participants’ brain responses as they listened to the same people produce genuine laughter by watching funny videos, as opposed to fake laughter. “During our study, when participants heard a laugh that was posed, they activated regions of the brain associated with mentalizing in an attempt to understand the other person’s emotional and mental state,” she said.
So, while we may understand that certain social situations sometimes require fake laughter, most of the time, our instincts and emotional intelligence are just too smart to buy into them.
According to McGettigan, that’s a good thing. “Evolutionarily speaking, it’s good to be able to detect if someone is authentically experiencing an emotion or if they’re not,” she said. “Because you don’t want to be fooled.”
32. What do researchers at the University of California want to find out in this study?
A. What is the difference between a fake laugh and a real one.
B. Which part of the brain controls the sound of our laughter.
C. Why do people need to fake laugh when they don’t want to.
D. How to laugh as genuinely as possible when you are faking it.
33. Your forced laughing is more noticeable than you think, mainly because_______.
A. you seem more concentrated when you laugh for real
B. you take more breaths when you try to fake a laugh
C a fake laugh often happens after a sudden pause
D. a real laugh usually lasts longer than a fake one
34. Which of the following is true according to Greg Bryant?
A. Real laughter is not at all controllable by our brain.
B. People may notice fake laughter without knowing why.
C. People use the same set of muscles to laugh and to speak.
D. Faking laugh shares the same techniques as making speech.
35. What has Carolyn McGettigan’s 2014 study proven?
A. Certain social situations may require us to fake a laugh.
B. Evolution has enabled us to recognize other’s emotions.
C. By instincts, we are able to tell a person’s mental state.
D. We can sense other’s emotional state when they laugh.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. B 35. D

【分析】这是一篇说明文。我们都有一种假笑的倾向,尤其是当我们生活中的权威人物试图说一个无法成功的笑话时。事实证明,即使你认为你的强迫笑听起来很真实,人们通常很擅长区分真笑和假笑。一项针对真笑和假笑在声学和感知上的差异的研究发现,区分真笑和假笑最重要的因素是声音之间的呼吸次数。文章中两位研究人员对此进行了一些说明。

细节理解题。根据第二段中Well, when researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles studied the acoustic and perceptual differences between real and fake laughter, they found that some of the sounds associated with genuine laughter is “really hard to fake.”可知加州大学洛杉矶分校的研究人员研究了真笑和假笑在声学和感知上的差异,他们发现一些与真笑相关的声音“真的很难假装”。由此可知,加州大学的研究人员想在这项研究中发现了假笑和真笑的区别。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中The most prominent factor distinguishing real laughter from fake laughter is duration —or, more specifically, the number of breaths taken in in between sounds. Seeing as it takes more effort and concentration to fake a laugh as opposed to do it genuinely, people tend to pause more in between their “ha-ha’s” when they’re faking it.可知区分真笑和假笑最重要的因素是持续时间,或者更具体地说,是声音之间的呼吸次数。假笑比真笑需要更多的努力和注意力,所以人们在假装笑的时候,往往会在“哈哈大笑”的间隙停顿更多。由此可知,你的假笑比你想象的更引人注目,这主要是因为当你试图假笑时,你会做更多的呼吸。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“The result is that there are subtle features of the laugh that sound like speech,and ... people are unconsciously quite sensitive to them.”可知“其结果是,笑声中有一些微妙的特征听起来像在说话,而且……人们在不知不觉中对它们相当敏感。”由此可推知,根据Greg Bryant 的说法,B选项“人们可能会在不知道原因的情况下注意到假笑声”正确。故选B。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“During our study, when participants heard a laugh that was posed, they activated regions of the brain associated with mentalizing in an attempt to understand the other person’s emotional and mental state,” she said.可知她说:“在我们的研究中,当参与者听到别人发出的笑声时,他们会激活大脑中与精神化相关的区域,试图理解对方的情绪和精神状态。”由此可知,Carolyn McGettigan 2014年的研究证明了当别人笑的时候,我们可以感觉到他们的情绪状态。故选D。

International Snow Sculpture Championships-America
This winter festival has been celebrated for many years. Teams of artists from around the world must compete to carve 25-ton blocks of snow into works of art themselves.

The festival takes place from January 24 to January 28.

The Ice Magic Festival has been taking place in Lake Louise for over 20 years, according to World Atlas. The competition runs from January 29 to February 1 and from February 2 to February 4.

Bob Stockton, my father-in-law, observed his 80th birthday in November 2019. Bob loved sports and was an enthusiastic Yankees (an American professional baseball team based in the New York City) fan, so it was no wonder that over the years, he was an avid (热切的) listener to WEAN radio and, in particular, the afternoon show hosted by Mike Francesa.
Bob had health issues in his later years that limited his mobility, and when he lost his eyesight three years ago, his attachment to his radio and Francesa became more pronounced. He just loved listening to Mike talk about sports and his Yankees each afternoon. Those hours brought him so much pleasure.
Of course, Mike will be leaving on Dec. 15, 2020 after 30 years at the station. Mike lives in the same community where I work on Long Island, and I have gotten to know him over the past 20 years. So when my father-in-law was approaching his special birthday last year, I asked Mike for a favor: to call Bob and wish him a happy birthday.
Mike agreed without hesitation. Two days before the special day, Mike stopped at my workplace. I called Bob at his nursing home and put Mike on the phone. It was a complete surprise to Bob. Mike spent more than 10 minutes wishing Bob a happy birthday and, of course, talking about the Yankees.
When my family celebrated Bob’s birthday two days later, he couldn’t stop talking about the phone call. Over his lifetime, he said it was one of the nicest things anyone had ever done for him. Unfortunately, Bob’s health declined (衰退) and he passed away on July 13, 2020. But even in his final months in the hospital and nursing home, he always had a radio set to WEAN to listen each afternoon to Mike Francesa. And he also had the memory of that special phone call for his 80th birthday.
24. What habit did Bob keep for years?
A. Playing baseball. B. Checking his eyesight regularly.
C. Listening to a sports program. D. Leading organized cheering for the Yankees.
25. What does the underlined word “pronounced” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Ordinary. B. Important. C. Confused. D. Obvious.
26. Which of the following best describes the author?
A. Caring. B. Independent. C. Patient. D. Honest.
27. What’s the best title for the text?
A. The Call Finally Arrived B. An Unforgettable Birthday Party
C. A Special Gift D. The Big Dream Came True
C
Math anxiety has become a common psychological condition among students around the world. Students in countries with higher levels of math anxiety tend to achieve lower math grades, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on Feb 15.
Math anxiety — a negative emotional reaction to the core subject — causes fear, physical suffering and behavior problems among young pupils, according to a University of Cambridge study. In ordinary life, many people experience some degree of discomfort when confronted with a math problem, ranging from mild tension to strong fear.
Some people also experience physical symptoms such as sweaty palms or a racing heart. They may then try to avoid numbers-related situations, meaning they are held back from pursuing careers related to the subject, such as science, technology or engineering, according to The Guardian.
Relief comes from the fact that those with math anxiety aren’t destined to be bad at math. “If a child has math anxiety, don’t assume that they’re not good at math. They may have had a really bad experience with math,” Daniel Ansari, the senior author of the study told The London Free Press. “Students with math anxiety are not cognitively (认知地) disadvantaged. ”
Also, there are ways to manage your math-related stress. If you’re stressed before a math exam, spend a few minutes exploring those feelings before the exam begins. “It’s about making sure you’re interpreting your feelings correctly,” Sian Beilock, a cognitive scientist told the BBC. “A fast heartbeat and sweaty palms don’t necessarily mean you will fail.”
A little math anxiety could be taken as a positive challenge to overcome. Just like many people get stage fright before delivering a speech, this nervous energy can help to motivate, according to Ian Lyons, a psychologist at Georgetown University.
Math doesn’t come easy, no matter how clever you are. Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian artist, was a huge fan of mathematics. But his notebooks show that Da Vinci couldn’t do fractions (分数). He could never grasp, for instance, that dividing a number by one-quarter is the same as multiplying by four, resulting in a higher number than the original.
28. What do we know about math anxiety?
A. It is common merely among students.
B. It can cause physical and emotional discomfort.
C People with math anxiety are often bad at maths.
D. It leads to people struggling in their career.
29. Which of the following statements will Daniel Ansari agree with according to his study?
A. Math anxiety may contribute to better grades.
B. Bad experience with math can cause cognitive disadvantages.
C. Math anxiety is not related to the ability to solve math problems.
D. Students with math anxiety may indeed experience lower math scores.
30. How should you deal with the stress related to math according to the article?
A. Avoid thinking about failures in math. B. Learn to make sense of your feelings.
C. Take all nervous energy as a challenge. D. Pay little attention to your math anxiety.
31. Why is Leonardo da Vinci’s story mentioned?
A. To show that math anxiety is very common.
B. To suggest a way to solve math anxiety.
C. To show it’s not easy for da Vinci to learn math.
D. To explain why math is a difficult subject to learn.
D
We all have a tendency to fake laugh, particularly when authority figures in our lives try to make a joke that just doesn’t land. Though it might feel rude not to laugh when your in-laws or boss try to say something funny, pretending to do so might not be much better. It turns out, even if you think that your forced laughing sounds genuine, people are usually pretty good at separating truly spirited belly laughs from fake ones. But how can they possible know the difference?
Well, when researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles studied the acoustic and perceptual differences between real and fake laughter, they found that some of the sounds associated with genuine laughter is “really hard to fake.” In their study, the researchers determined that subjects were only fooled by 37 percent of fake laughter.
The most prominent factor distinguishing real laughter from fake laughter is duration -- or, more specifically, the number of breaths taken in in between sounds. Seeing as it takes more effort and concentration to fake a laugh as opposed to do it genuinely, people tend to pause more in between their “ha-ha’s” when they’re faking it. Evidently, that pausing is pretty noticeable.
“A fake laugh is basically an imitation of a real laugh, but produced with a slightly different set of vocal muscles controlled by a different part of our brain,” Greg Bryant, the lead UCLA researcher on the study, explained. “The result is that there are subtle features of the laugh that sound like speech, and ... people are unconsciously quite sensitive to them.”
People have also proven to be emotionally sensitive to laughter as well. “Our rains are very sensitive to the social and emotional significance of laughter,” said Carolyn McGettigan, a scientist at Royal Holloway, University of London.
McGettigan conducted a 2014 study that recorded participants’ brain responses as they listened to the same people produce genuine laughter by watching funny videos, as opposed to fake laughter. “During our study, when participants heard a laugh that was posed, they activated regions of the brain associated with mentalizing in an attempt to understand the other person’s emotional and mental state,” she said.
So, while we may understand that certain social situations sometimes require fake laughter, most of the time, our instincts and emotional intelligence are just too smart to buy into them.
According to McGettigan, that’s a good thing. “Evolutionarily speaking, it’s good to be able to detect if someone is authentically experiencing an emotion or if they’re not,” she said. “Because you don’t want to be fooled.”
32. What do researchers at the University of California want to find out in this study?
A. What is the difference between a fake laugh and a real one.
B. Which part of the brain controls the sound of our laughter.
C. Why do people need to fake laugh when they don’t want to.
D. How to laugh as genuinely as possible when you are faking it.
33. Your forced laughing is more noticeable than you think, mainly because_______.
A. you seem more concentrated when you laugh for real
B. you take more breaths when you try to fake a laugh
C. a fake laugh often happens after a sudden pause
D. a real laugh usually lasts longer than a fake one
34. Which of the following is true according to Greg Bryant?
A. Real laughter is not at all controllable by our brain.
B. People may notice fake laughter without knowing why.
C. People use the same set of muscles to laugh and to speak.
D. Faking laugh shares the same techniques as making speech.
35. What has Carolyn McGettigan’s 2014 study proven?
A. Certain social situations may require us to fake a laugh.
B. Evolution has enabled us to recognize other’s emotions.
C. By instincts, we are able to tell a person’s mental state.
D. We can sense other’s emotional state when they laugh.
